Bukit Bintang Kuala Lumpur

KL Traffic Surge Ahead of Festive & Weekend Travel

Kuala Lumpur is seeing increased traffic flow as locals and tourists prepare for upcoming weekends and events around Bukit Bintang and KLCC. With ride-hailing demand surging, many travellers are opting for car rental Kuala Lumpur services for better flexibility and convenience when moving across the city.

The New 118 Mall at Merdeka 118 Is Opening Soon

Kuala Lumpur’s skyline is set to welcome another major attraction as 118 Mall at Merdeka 118 is expected to open in August 2026. Located near Stadium Merdeka, Chinatown and Pasar Seni, the mall will feature over 300 retail outlets—making it a convenient new stop for travellers exploring the city with flexible car rental in KL.

KL Tower Kuala Lumpur

KL Tower & City Attractions See Rising Tourist Footfall

Tourist favourites like Menara Kuala Lumpur and Petronas Twin Towers continue to attract both local and international visitors.

Kuala Lumpur Driving Tips for First-Time Renters

Begin your journey with confidence, supported by practical local guidance for a smoother car rental experience in Kuala Lumpur.

Touch 'n Go Card

Essential for Highway Access – Malaysia's highways operate on an electronic toll collection system, requiring a Touch 'n Go (T&G) card for seamless travel. Tourists can easily add this card to their rental package.

Speed Limits

Malaysia employs Automated Enforcement System (AES) cameras to monitor speed limits, especially on major highways. Tourists unfamiliar with these systems should adhere strictly to posted speed limits to avoid fines.

Driving Orientation

In Malaysia, vehicles are right-hand drive, and traffic flows on the left side. Tourists should familiarize themselves with this orientation and always carry a valid driving license and, if necessary, an International Driving Permit (IDP).

Vehicle Inspection

Before starting your journey, inspect the rental vehicle for existing damages and ensure they're documented. Understand the insurance coverage provided, and consider additional coverage if necessary.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Kuala Lumpur?

Affordable car rental in Kuala Lumpur generally costs around MYR130 to MYR150 per day.

The final price depends on the travel dates, rental duration, vehicle category, pickup arrangement and current availability. Enter your booking details into the search form to view the actual rates available for your trip.

What is included in the rental price?

The displayed rate covers the rental of the selected vehicle for the confirmed booking period, together with standard vehicle insurance subject to the applicable insurance excess and rental terms.

Delivery charges, return pickup, security deposit, optional protection, additional drivers, after-hours service, add-ons and other applicable fees will be shown separately before you confirm payment.

What documents do I need to rent a car?

During booking, Malaysian renters should upload their MyKad and valid driving licence. Foreign visitors should upload their passport, original driving licence and International Driving Permit—or an official English translation where required.

Please keep the original documents available for verification during vehicle delivery or pickup. Additional verification may be requested depending on the vehicle, rental duration and booking arrangement.

How does ARACAR protect the documents I upload?

ARACAR collects identification and driving documents only for booking verification, legal compliance and rental administration.

ARA Time Travel & Tours Sdn. Bhd. is registered under Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act 2010, and access to customer documents is limited to authorised personnel involved in processing and managing the rental.

Deposits paid by credit card are reversed to the same card through Stripe. For deposits paid through local online banking, our admin team will request your bank details for the refund transfer.

Is rental car insurance included?

All ARACAR rental vehicles are insured. However, the renter remains responsible for the applicable insurance excess, which is the maximum amount the renter may need to pay when an insured damage claim occurs.

Optional Collision Damage Waiver or Super Collision Damage Waiver may be available to reduce the renter’s excess liability, subject to the exclusions and conditions stated in the rental agreement. Damage Waiver is optional and is not itself an insurance policy.

    •

Requests made less than 72 hours before the rental start time, no-shows, failure to provide the required documents and unused rental days are non-refundable. Changes are subject to vehicle availability, revised rental rates and any applicable charges.

My family and I traveled from Kuching, Sarawak, and had an excellent and friendly experience with ARA Car Rental! We booked a Hyundai Starex and it came in great clean condition. The best part was they delivered and collected the car directly at our arrival hall location at KLIA. That was a great help! Highly recommend their service for anyone needing a car rental at KLIA.

I recently arranged a car rental with ARA for a 5-day trip for our foreign delegate, and the experience was excellent. The reservation process was seamless, and the staff at the pick-up location were both friendly and efficient. The company's adaptability in meeting our needs was what impressed me the most. Despite our last-minute request, they went above and beyond to accommodate us, demonstrating a level of flexibility that is rare to find in service providers. The drop-off process was equally straightforward.

Booked a Hyundai Starex for a 1000km family adventure last year and had a whale of a time with it. Big, strong, friendly, grippy, handles great on hill roads. Was given free upgrade to a Staria this year, a real smoothie and the fam loved it even more. The ARA team answered all my many queries promptly and were a joy to deal with, they make things simple and easy. Terima kasih!

Recently I rented one MPV from ARA with home delivery & pick up service and I must say it was a breeze. The staff gave a very good service. The car arrived on time, it was clean and well maintained. The convenience of having the car brought to me made the whole rental experience stress free. Highly recommended.

I have booked a Honda CRV for my family of 5 with ARA for 19 days in Malaysia and was very pleased with the service provided by ARA. The car was in an excellent condition when we took it and it served our road trip without any issues. The car was polished and clean, tyres were near new. Halim was very responsive from the time of booking and his staffs were more than accommodating with all our requests. We have a few hours of delays and ARA staff had waited for us to midnight to handover the car! I have requested a TNG card for toll and they have also accommodated my request. Paperwork is done digitally so no hassle at all. When returning the car, the staff was punctual and turn up early to pick up the car, despite me changing the specific pickup location and the change of pickup time was ok too. I will book my next car rental in Malaysia with ARA for sure! Thanks Halim, Ulfa and Bay for all your good work to provide an excellent customer service and positive experience to me and my family. Most importantly, the Vechicle is safe and in tip top condition for our 3 weeks road trip! Well done!

ARA rental experience was fantastic. Booking process was smooth. Car selection was clear (although they changed it later), payment process was smooth. Car was delivered on time at the hotel lobby for a small fee (experience was great). Car was in good condition. No hidden fees!At the end of the booking, folks came down and picked up the car. Agents were really nice and stuck a good conversation.Security deposit was refunded in a weeks timeWill definitely book with them again
